Jesus, Take the Wheel
from Good Shepherd Barrhaven Sermon Stream
Everyone today seems anxious and fearful. Yet, we live in a time of unprecedented prosperity, peace, and stability. Why don't we feel better, when there are so many things going right? In this sermon, Fr. Stephen suggests that a key reason is that we don't appreciate what the Epiphany story tells us. It tells us that even when bad actors take the stage, there is a Divine director who is in control. This Divine director brought us Jesus, and is the One we can trust to see us through to a bright future. Scripture Reference: Matthew 2:1-12 Preached on January 5, 2020, the Feast of the Epiphany by Rev. Stephen Silverthorne Sermon Highlights Chaos and lack of control leave us anxious The story of the magi reveals that God is in control Despite modern prosperity, we are anxious This anxiety comes because we realize we don't have much control We are freed from anxiety when we learn to let God take control Trust in God's control of things we cannot change lets us focus on the things we can Further Reference The Second Coming. A poem by W.B. Yeats. Apocalypse Now. A film by Francis Ford Coppola, set during the Vietnam War.
